Description
It’s a question that has troubled providers for years – how do you keep
patients on track with behavior change between appointments? Longtime physician assistant and educator Ken Korber hit upon a novel idea: use story books to educate the patient’s young children about healthy
behaviors, and turn them into “little health ambassadors” in the home.
Korber, who is also president of the Association of Family Practice PAs and NPs and a Clinical Instructor at Mount St. Joseph University, says the books allow him to bridge his clinical experience with his passion for
writing and education, and will hopefully improve the health of adults and kids alike. It’s also in keeping with the focus many PAs and NPs have on primary care and prevention. His latest book "Grace Fights COVID-19" is the first resource of its kind in the U.S. for parents and kids. He also has advice for newly minted PAs and NPs about their role on the healthcare team, so there’s lots to check out in this episode with host Dr. Rishi Desai.
